Several years ago we had a wonderful dinner in old Montreal at Les Rempart restaurant. When I Google that, it now directs me to a web site for a restaurant called Narcisse. Do any Montreal readers know if this is the same restaurant? If it is an ownership change -- how is the food now? We loved the traditional French menu. I have a friend currently working in Montreal for a few weeks and would like to recommend if this is the same restaurant. Thanks.

A quick peak at Chowhound.com left the question unanswered, except to say that no one on that foodie wesite has been there in the past year, which suggests its over for Les Rempart. For alternatives,like the Beaver Club, Bonaparte, et al, go check out their Quebec board.

We stayed at the Auberge du Vieux-Port last summer, expecting to dine at Les Remparts which we had enjoyed in the past. It has been redone as Narcisse, a much more casual restaurant. We decided instead to dine at Verses at the nearby Hotel Nelligan and were not disappointed. I can also recommend the restaurant at Bonaparte which is also very near the Vieux-Port which is still a very nice place to stay.
